Ian O'connell comin home

[dannyriding]

Just been informed that Ian O'connell will be making a return to HDP........ no not as a manager for the mighty Gate but as the manager of Great Wakering Rovers for a friendly on the 19th July. I bet he'll be at the bar for most of it...

Confirmed on official site.

 

I see its Ian O'Connells Great Wakering Rovers-a bit like Nigel Cloughs Burton Albion.

 

(talking of Burton Albion -what a difference 6 seasons make-

 

oouch !! )

Plenty of 1-0's to the Gate that championship winning season though

[Hornet]

Just over a month to get another seven players and five subs together then although we do heve enough for a team for RamsgateMicks pop quiz.

[BlueGate Alan]

No problems

[Hornet]

If we get them two hot goalscorers from Sudbury that'd be a great start. I'm feeling more positive now. I think Luke Coleman and Ryan Peters will shine next season. If we could afford them I'd like to see a couple of the Gravesend (still can't bring myself to call them Ebbsfleet) released players brought in, especially Liam Coleman-the midfield would already be looking well strong then.

[BlueGate Alan]

Are we after them then Hornet?

[Hornet]

There were big rumours while you were away on holiday Alan but the travelling seemed to be an issue.

[michael]

Well Maskell from Ebbsfleet has unfortunately signed for Ramsgate.

 

I am somewhat surprised that Coleman was retained-maybe RT got him on an 18 month contract;and just hope that he will be alot better next season than i have witnessed to date.

[Wellsie]

Yes, Coleman is contracted through next season. In fairness to him, he started well with us but then had pneumonia I think and I reckon he was feeling the start of that while still playing for us. He should be a key player for us this coming season.

Have to agree. Everyone was saying what a good signing he was when he signed, as he played well for us when on loan. You sometimes have to question the management and training regime. Look at Akinde, it is reported that a lot of league clubs are after him and he was voted one of the most promising youngsters in the Non League paper. A few others have passed through here as well.

[Hornet]

I thought Luke looked great before he got ill. Maskell is a major coup for Rams. How far are we behind them now?

[Cookie]

We are still on the same points & goal difference at the moment Hornet.Both having NOT played the same amount of games.
